The 2026 iSTRUM Community Workshop is complete!

Thank you to all attendees for making it an enjoyable, thought provoking week. If you attended but have not completed the post-meeting survey, please check your email or contact the organizers! Your feedback is immensely helpful.

## Workshop Resources

A number of resources are available for both attendees and the wider community:

### Talk slides, meeting materials

The google drive used during the meeting remains publicly accessible in a read-only view: [iSTRUM 2026 Community Workshop Google Drive](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1yC_GSwhJfWUa7a6sx4_HAWMIojcIHATR?usp=drive_link)

it includes:
- an archive of the full agenda and participants ([link](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RYsdL-ZgW1SIohroghH_nlj0nUfChl6y/view?usp=drive_link))
- slides from talks contributed by speakers ([link](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1NiIHEPIRqIHXFPPwFgWpNePytbS83roI?usp=sharing))

The padlet discussion board has been frozen but can still be viewed at [this link](https://padlet.com/chrishavlin/istrum-live-q-a-di29furxso4w66nc). Additionally, a PDF archive of the discussion board is available at [this link]().

We are excited to host the upcoming iSTRUM (inveStigating Transient Rheology of the Upper Mantle) Community Workshop to be held June 22-26, 2026 at UC Santa Barbara, hosted by the Kavli Institute of Theoretical Physics (KITP). The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers interested in advancing our understanding of the broad spectrum of upper mantle rheology, covering timescales ranging from seismic waves (<1 s) to Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (~10^12 s) and mantle convection.

## About the iSTRUM (inveStigating Transient Rheology of the Upper Mantle) Community Workshop
The iSTRUM (inveStigating Transient Rheology of the Upper Mantle) Community Workshop was held June 22-26, 2026 at UC Santa Barbara, hosted by the Kavli Institute of Theoretical Physics (KITP). The goal of the workshop was to bring together researchers interested in advancing our understanding of the broad spectrum of upper mantle rheology, covering timescales ranging from seismic waves (<1 s) to Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (~10^12 s) and mantle convection.

## Update: Meeting Resources

**Did you miss the workshop? Want to revisit a talk you saw? Check out the persistent materials on [this page](/blog/istrum-2026-resources/).**

## About the iSTRUM Community Workshop

This 5-day, NSF-funded event will bring together ~80 researchers from the fields of Rock Physics, Seismology, Geodesy, and Geodynamics with the goal to advance our understanding of the broad spectrum of upper mantle rheology, covering timescales ranging from seismic waves (~1 s) to Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (~10^12 s). The workshop will foster interdisciplinary collaborations among a diverse array of researchers motivated by the goal of integrating seismic, geodetic, and laboratory observations, within a self-consistent framework that links geodynamics to microphysics.
